Every Sunday morning I see You sitting in the pew Greeting the congregation As you always do A smile pasted on your face You shake everyone's hand You are the mirrored image of The most perfect man I always looked up to you I thought you were the best One giant step above me Better than the rest You are so well loved The pillar of our community Looked on with admiration And complete dignity Your wife teaches sunday school Your children kneel and pray The perfect christian family Is what I used to say There is a secret life You keep hidden deep inside When I found out about it Respect slowly died I learned that all your money Don't buy you happiness And even with your beautiful home There's something that you miss I don't condone what you do It's none of my concern Who am I to judge you For taking the wrong turn The congregration smiles As they gather all around The choir sing's Amazing Grace Such a lovely sound You sit quietly in the pew But only I can see Your wink at my best friend Smiling beside me (C) Linda Hill 2004

Very often things are not what they seem - and I suspect many lead secret lives, in one way or another. Powerful poem, Linda.
